Business Intelligence and Decision Support Systems
Business Intelligence and Decision Support Systems, A Strategic Guide to Analytics, BI Tools, and Empowered Decision-Making.
Course Description
In today’s data-driven world, making informed decisions is critical for business success. This course explores Decision Support Systems (DSS)—technologies that assist in data-driven decision-making by combining data, analytical models, and user-friendly interfaces. You’ll learn how DSS enhance strategic, tactical, and operational decisions across industries.
A key foundation of DSS is the Data Warehouse, which integrates and stores data from multiple sources to enable comprehensive analysis. Paired with Business Intelligence (BI) tools, these systems transform raw data into actionable insights through dashboards, reports, and visual analytics.
But with a growing market of BI platforms—Tableau, Power BI, Qlik, Looker, and others—how do you choose the right one? This course offers a practical guide to evaluating BI solutions based on your needs: scalability, ease of use, integration capabilities, visualization power, and cost.
By the end, you’ll gain a clear understanding of:
- The role and structure of Decision Support Systems
- Why Data Warehousing and BI are essential for modern organizations
- How to assess and choose the best BI tools
- A comparative overview of leading BI platforms
Whether you’re a student, analyst, or decision-maker, this course empowers you with the knowledge to harness analytics for smarter, faster decisions.
